6 a.m. on June 17, 2018, the bridge shall

transiting upstream of the bridge on the
Petaluma River.

users of the waterways through our
Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners
and through direct outreach to local
harbors, marinas, and water-based
business of the temporary change in the
operating schedule for the bridge so that
vessel operators can arrange their
transits to minimize any impact caused
by the temporary deviation.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The owner
of the bridge, the New Jersey
Department of Transportation, requested
a temporary deviation in order to
perform work on the switch gear power
source of the bridge.
The Route 280 Bridge across the
Passaic River, mile 5.8, at Harrison, New
Jersey is a vertical lift bridge with a
vertical clearance of 35 feet at mean
high water and 40 feet at mean low
water in the closed position. The
existing drawbridge operating
regulations are listed at 33 CFR
117.739(h).
This temporary deviation will allow
the Route 280 Bridge to remain in the
closed position from 12:01 a.m. on
March 1, 2018, to 11:59 p.m. on March
7, 2018. The deviation will have
negligible effect on navigation. The
waterway is transited by recreational
and commercial vessels. Coordination
with waterway users has indicated no
objection to the proposed closure of the
draw. Vessels that can pass under the
bridge without an opening may do so at
all times. The bridge will not be able to
open for emergencies. There is no
alternate route for vessels to pass.
The Coast Guard will also inform the
users of the waterways through our
Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners
of the change in operating schedule for
the bridge so that vessel operators can
arrange their transits to minimize any
impact caused by the temporary
deviation.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the
end of the effective period of this
temporary deviation. This deviation
from the operating regulations is
